Hi everyone! This design is a wonderful observation that I have done months ago.
In a windy evening and very transparent.
The drawing represents my observation: on NGC3628 I failed to notice the dark band in the Galaxy.
I hope you like it.

Spectacular view of the supernova in M82 on the night of January 25, 2014
Scketch made at La Hita´s Observatory in La Puebla de Almoradiel, Toledo (Spain).
22:18 UT
With graphite on white paper, looking through TEDI telescope (770 mm, f3.2 ) eyepiece 13mm and the red light of my torch (I call it “the demon” by its two red eyes).
The sky was really clear and pristine, relative humidity 80%. (4.5ºC)
Close to new Moon. My estimate Mag with reference stars is 10.5

Hey ASOD!
I send a sketch of the great supernova in the galaxy M.82.
I could not detect any color in this SN, it looked white to me!
I also observed the SN in M.81 in 1993 (ASOD-gallery).
My sketch here is made with colorcrayons on black paper.
Location: Trondheim, Norway. Info on my sketch.
Best wishes from Per-Jonny Bremseth.

Small but high surface brightness that allows us to higher powers to try to seek details object.
I became interested in watching him from an article Almach and is now one of my favorite objects.

Hi everyone! This was the first sketch I made in the year. It was a wonderful dark night, the weather was nice and the Carina constellation was in an ideal elevation to observe it through what i call “my little sky window”, that is, my 12×50 binoculars. I always enjoy a lot the whole area of Argos which I think is the most impressive in binoculars. Thank you so much!!!!

Moon crater ” Hevelius ” … a marginal phenomenon !
Hello,
even though we had already almost full moon, I wanted to take advantage of the clear weather. 21.00 clock then I moved my MON 2 with the TMB manually on our cosmic neighbor.
Since stabbed veeery on the edge out a very pretty crater group. The air was relatively quiet and the 6mm Ortho at about 133x I was excited about the harsh contrasts around the impact site and the shadow boundary. I quickly got my sketch pad and pencils to capture the scene.
That it was the crater Hevelius ( about 100km in diameter) , I had to investigate . I found something in my Moon Atlas from the 60s and in the virtual Moon Atlas . Cavalerius is the second largest crater in the group with about 60km and the crater Lohrmann with about 30km rounded out the picture.
I hope that you like it!

In looking at the upcoming forecast, I decided to take advantage of a semi-clear and warm night to sketch another observation. It took a bit of star-hopping to find the cascade… mainly drawing lines between Auriga to Perseus to Cassiopeia and back again, but once it was in my field of view, there was no mistaking Kemble’s Cascade.

From 4UT just after the moonset, I was observing one hour looking around the Leo area.
I begin to sketch the sky region where I was looking, +/- 45° from the radiant. We can see the Leo and the red Mars underneath.
Each time a meteor was burning out I put the trace on my white paper link with the estimated magnitude. Let says one minute after, because already years ago, I realized that sometime a meteor is following shortly by another one, just on the same track, like a double meteor. This morning I saw 42 Geminids and 2 sporadic’s, I don’t sketch the sporadic meteor here. The speed was quite low and the magnitudes quite brilliant.
The small village where I’m don’t care about light pollution, ok then, I use this to sketch the Christmas street decoration like it is.
Here follows my result of the watch,
